ROBBERY – Friday, January 16, 2026, at approximately 6 pm, callers told 911 dispatchers two people were causing a disturbance at a business in the 2500 block of 6th Ave N. The suspects left on foot before officers arrived. When officers made contact with employees and patrons of the store, they were told the suspects had stolen items and became involved in a physical altercation with employees before leaving the store. As officers searched the area for the suspects, a witness said the suspects went into a camper parked on private property behind the store. For over two hours, officers tried to contact the suspects via microphone and issued commands to come out. Eventually, a warrant was granted, and officers entered the camper. Both suspects were taken into custody and remanded to the Cascade County Sheriff/Coroner’s Office Adult Detention Center. One was charged with Robbery by Accountability (F) and Obstructing a Peace Officer (M), the other was charged with Robbery (F), Criminal Mischief (M), and Obstructing a Peace Officer (M).
